Gorgeous to listen to and gorgeous to look at, ICeltic Woman/I is perfect PBS fare, sort of a IRiverdance/I without the dancing. Drawing on the same New Age-y sound and propulsive energy as that show's solo-voice and choral numbers, the live concert features four attractive young women in strapless evening gowns with soaring voices backed by an orchestra, an Anuna-like chorus, and a large percussion section. The more traditional fare includes Meav Ni Mhaolchatha's "Danny Boy" and "She Moved Through the Fair," and Chloe Agnew's "Ave Maria" (the Bach-Gounod version). Movie and TV selections range from Agnew's "Walking in the Air" (IThe Snowman/I) and "Someday" (Disney's IHunchback of Notre Dame/I) to Lisa Kelly's "May It Be" (the Enya song from IThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King/I) and Orla Fallon's voice and harp rendition of "Harry's Game." A fifth woman, Mairead Nesbitt, adds some variety by fiddling "The Butterfly" and "Ashokan Farewell" (best known as the theme from Ken Burns's IThe Civil War/I). Occasionally the singers join together, as in Enya's "Orinoco Flow," an a cappella rendition of IWest Side Story/I's "Somewhere," music director David Downes's composition "One World," and a stately version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." ICeltic Woman/I was created by Downes (like many of the other performers, a IRiverdance/I veteran) along with Sharon Browne and Dave Kavanagh of the Celtic Collections record label. I--David Horiuchi/I

 A disappointment September 11, 2007

I bought this disc because of the reviews on amazon.com, from people who liked Yanni Live-The Concert Event, a disc I loved. I was VERY disappointed when I got to watch this. Whereas the Yanni disc featured a wonderful line-up of superb musicians performing original music, this disc recycles old and traditional songs with little musicianship. It has some attractive Irish lasses, and pretty good production values, but the women have so-so voices, little real stage presence and amateur-level playing abilities. If you like the songs and have a soft spot in your heart for the Emerald Isle, then by all means go for it . . . but I felt like this was like a high-school talent show produced by Hollywood.
